De triomf en tragedie van de vader van de atoombom.

De Pulitzer Prize-winnende biografie van J. Robert Oppenheimer, directeur van het Manhattan Project en ‘vader van de atoombom’, die de inspiratie was voor de succesvolle film Oppenheimer – een geweldige, spannende combinatie van wetenschap, wereldgeschiedenis en politiek

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was een briljant natuurkundige en directeur van het Manhattan Project: de geheime ontwikkeling van de atoombom tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De bombardementen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki maakten hem de beroemdste wetenschapper van zijn generatie en een van de meest iconische maar ook omstreden figuren van de twintigste eeuw. Dit boek volgt Oppenheimer vanaf zijn opleiding onder de bekendste fysici van zijn tijd, naar Berkeley, Californië, waar hij de eerste Amerikaanse school voor theoretische natuurkunde oprichtte en nauw betrokken raakte bij verschillende links-activistische bewegingen, die ook veel communisten aantrokken. Vervolgens naar Los Alamos, New Mexico, waar hij een woestijnvlakte transformeerde in een kernwapenlaboratorium waarna hij de geschiedenis in ging als de vader van de atoombom.

Na de oorlog nam Oppenheimer het hoogleraarschap aan Princeton over van Albert Einstein en werkte hij als politiek adviseur. In die rol maakte hij zich hard voor internationale controle op nucleair materiaal, verzet tegen de waterstofbom en tegen kernoorlog in het algemeen. Door die revolutionaire standpunten, in combinatie met zijn vermeende banden met het communisme, haalde Oppenheimer zich in de aanloop naar de Koude Oorlog de woede van invloedrijke nucleaire pleitbezorgers op de hals, onder wie atoomenergie-commissionair Lewis Strauss, waterstofbomontwikkelaar Edward Teller en FBI-directeur J. Edgar Hoover, die een hoorzitting organiseerden wegens de verdenking van landverraad.

Oppenheimer is een meeslepend portret van een briljante, ambitieuze en complexe man wiens werk een vernietigend einde maakte aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog, en het begin vormde van de Koude Oorlog. Een biografie en geschiedenisboek ineen, en bovenal een essentieel boek om inzicht te krijgen in ons recente verleden en onze keuzes voor de toekomst.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.
